Answer 1

Unless you have a very clever wireless switch, the printer must be attached to one of the computers. That computer can "share" the printer so that the wieless computers can hook to it. All the devices must be part of the same network. You may have to use Samba to print from the MAC.

Answer 2

Are both computers hooked up to a wireless router, and do you have wireless adapters in both computers? (either built-in or add-on)

Assuming you do, and assuming the computers are already set up with the router, you need to set up a home network between computers. You may have already done so, and if that is the case, you may skip ahead a bit. Both computers have to be connected under the same workgroup, (e.g. MSHOME) which can be accomplished through the "Set up a home or small office network" option in the Control Panel. The wizard is fairly starightforward, so just follow it through on both computers.

If everything is already set up, you just need go to "My Network Places/Entire Network" Find the computer that has the printer on it, and double click on it. Find your printer, and right click. In the drop down list, press, "Set as default printer" and you're done!

Answer 3

there is no way to print wirelessly. Your PC must have some connection to a printer, or else it will not recognize any printer

Answer 4

usually you just go to control panel and click on printer and make sure u install the cd

- hope this helps!
